Discover more about sustainable food at Cambridge conference

A special event is giving people in Cambridge the chance to discover more about local and sustainable food.

With last year’s horsemeat scandal, an obesity epidemic and shocking revelations about food waste, it’s no wonder food is such a hot topic at the moment, and a one-off conference is giving foodies the opportunity to find out more about the stuff we eat.

The Food for a Greener Future conference is taking place on Saturday, February 8 at Emmanuel United Reformed Church, and offers the chance to learn from national experts, celebrate delicious, locally sourced food and find out how to get involved in local food movements.

The conference aims to raise awareness in the local community about the sustainability and ethics of food production and consumption on a global, national and local scale, and offer practical advice on how to implement changes.

There will be a number of expert talks on the day, stalls from local food producers, interactive workshops - including one by Tine Roche of the award-winning Cambridge Cookery School - and a delicious lunch.
